Every October, Lake Placid’s Adworkshop joins the estimated 11,000 ESOPs in the United States to celebrate National ESOP Month. During this time, ESOPs across the country participate in community outreach and education to further public awareness and celebrate another year of employee ownership.

This year, Adworkshop, is celebrating its 6th anniversary as an ESOP with the theme “Back to School – ESOP Style,” featuring a series of events such as Art Class, Pep Rally, and, on October 17, Shop Class for their annual holiday fundraiser. Employees split into teams to assemble 12 tricycles to donate to two local charity organizations: The North Elba Christmas Fund and the Holiday Helpers for their annual holiday fundraisers.

Above, the Adworkshop team poses with the 12 tricycles and representatives from the North Elba Christmas Fund and Holiday Helpers. The tricycles were assembled by Adworkshop team members to donate to the organizations as part of their annual holiday fundraisers.

Thanks to Adworkshop’s Rebecca Steffan for sharing the company’s EOM celebration with the Association.
